"When playing heavy metal, you need a pick that is both durable and reliable for the speed picking required to pump out the chugging power metal riffs that are a cornerstone of our style... You need Guitar Picks from Steve Clayton, Inc." - Ryan "The Archangel" Darnell

True Strength - Pray for Sri Lanka

Our prayers go out to the families of the nearly 300 Sri Lankan Christians killed in the Easter Day bombings. This cowardly and horrific attack against the peaceful Christians of Sri Lanka will never stop the spread of the Gospel, the Word of the One True, Living God! Pray that the attackers are brought to justice!

We have officially released our third album, Sanguinary Vivification! We are excited and extremely grateful to God for this opportunity to bring this release to you! All Glory and Honor to Our Lord Jesus Christ! May He and He alone be glorified by True Strength's music! A big thank you to all who ordered our music during the pre-sale! A big thank you to all of our fans who have either bought our CDs, bought our MP3s, streamed our music, listened to us on the radio and even if you listened to us for free, thank you! We hope that you continue to love the music we make for you and we pray to God that we can continue to do so for many years to come. We love you all!

NOTE: The album will likely be available through Nordic Mission, Soundmass, Underground Power Records and others shortly, so check in with them regularly to see if they have updated their site, if you prefer to buy from these outlets.

IMPORTANT: We also want to make a plea to you to support Roxx Records by purchasing the CD copy of the album if you can. Even though we, as a band, don't accept a cent of sales- Roxx Records is a business that does. Your support of Roxx Records' bands and merchandise allows for independent releases to see the light of day. Bill Bafford tirelessly resurrects long lost relics of Christian heavy metal from the past as well as newer bands' releases like our new album, Sanguinary Vivification. Please keep this growing Christian Heavy Metal scene alive by supporting Roxx Records! As a reminder, the band's portion of the digital sales will be donated to the International Christian Concern, an organization that assists persecuted Christians around the world and their families. Thank you for your support!!

***We also want to remind you of the importance of the day in which we are releasing this album... Good Friday. Good Friday is the day that Jesus Christ was nailed to and died on the Cross. Please remember of The Lord's sacrifice for us on this day. We hope that this album (which is about the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ) will comfort you this paschal (Easter) season.***
